Whoa! As someone on a budget, I'm still using dial-up internet. So I REALLY noticed when it now takes a 2 megabyte download to flip from one page to another on smileysmile.net

What's going on?

Dunno, but I'll look into it.  Are you speaking strictly about this board?

Yes, this is the only site where it is happening.

The only clue of what might be going on is that a banner has begun appearing saying "This website wants to install...."Adobe Flash Player Installer"......"  every time a page opens.

Couldn't this be caused by the new "widget" that appears at the bottom of each page?  Huh It works fine on my computer, but it takes a few seconds to load and seems to be Flash-based.

Well, something good happened and it's back to "normal" again this morning. Hooray!

I changed it from a flash widget to a javascript widget.  I'm happy to hear it works better for you.
